A Paper Artsy card

It's another Craft Barn Saturday here on Crafty Musings, welcome. I'm pleased to see you :0) This week has been all about PaperArtsy at the Craft Barn Blog and so I made a card :0)



Simply stamped onto good quality card, before I stamped I gently swiped the stalk to make a highlight. I hope this makes it a little more lifelike. The die was cut out and I stamped the image later, the flower was stamped in StaZon in three colours onto vellum. I mounted the topper onto a splash of deep grass green, I really enjoyed making this card. Thank you for looking in, I hope your Saturday is a very good one, Gay xxx

This is what I used

PaperArsty Stamps Mini 67
Hot Picks 1005 and the postmark filmstrip die that co-ordinates.
StazOn inks: Olive Green, Vibrant Violet and Ultramarine

    Artsy and lovely, Gay! What a great idea to swipe the stem. It does give it a more realistic look! Love the pretty flower on the vellum too.

    Really love this Gay (nothing new there then as I always love your cards, lol)! Swiping the stem makes such a huge difference so thanks for sharing that little tip and the soft colours in the slide mailer are so pretty. Set against that vibrant green the whole thing makes for a stunning, elegant card.

    Hugs

    Well that's a neat trick with the baby wipe! This is such a great stamp set, that flower head is just fab. Love the zingy green and the flower in the filmstrip ties it all together beautifully. A gorgeous card. xx

    Oh yes, just lovely. Those umbelliferous flowers always capture my imagination ....they are my favourite plant group and they were on Gardners World yesterday.
    Gorgeous work, Gay ...love the composition and layout. You are still being minimal..ish... :)
